Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?
? How does it work? ?
Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
? Rules: ?

In the event of a level with 'Super Flying Cowboy Mode' (SFCM): unless the level uses this mode as a hat remover or if the level specifically requires the use of SFCM, all runs that have this mode enabled must be reset. Any runs that have this mode enabled when it's prohibited will be voided.

#1 | Candyland: fun, interactive, eventful races; various shortcuts and item/hat-based shortcuts allow for player expression; great design; great theming; rewards skillful play and quick strategic thinking; secret areas
#2 | Razorblade: varied, unexpected races; various pathways, difficult shortcuts; enables player expression; great design; spectacular theming; secret areas
#3 | Mario Bros: fun, fast-paced races; fairly linear, but never boring; well-designed; Mario Bros theming ; secret areas
#4 | Zerostar: glitches galoreeee; countless pathways and shortcuts of various difficulties; unique, creative, interesting design
#5 | Soul Temple: simple but enjoyable; chaotic, fun player interaction; solid design
#6 | It's New York: simple but effective (zooooOOOM across New York); sometimes interesting, but sometimes stale; decent design
#7 | Hat Factory: the original final boss of Pr2-- back in 2008, this was a formidable challenge indeed, and the reward of the Prop Hat made it all the more special; but poorly designed/unpolished
#8 | Blacklight: boring boring boring; bad design; cool theming
#9 | Newbieland: zZzZzZzZ -- nostalgia is the only redeeming factor
So this is a rough sketch/design/modification of what my final hat project will look like. I know, the pic may not look like much, but once you see the whole thing, you'll change your behavior and opinion. Like I said before, this hat will be the most dominate hat in Pr2, ever! All it needs is support and finishing touches, and it'll be good to go! ???
The colored lines will indicate that the weapon inside the hat is being triggered to terminate someone. There's a lot of work that'll be put into this hat, and this will be THE ONE HAT that'll prohibit Pr2 from being dead. I can't draw very well, but I'm trying. F@H will also be involved with this hat, but that's for extra abilities.
Sneak Peak of what it does: Decimates your opponent with a VERY powerful laser that travels faster than the velocity of the regular weak ass lasers that we have now, has acid that'll suffocate the living hell out of your opponents and blind their vision, etc.
Here's what people had to say about the current 15 hats that we have. Some hats are trash, I agree:
I'm gonna make this short and simple because I don't know much about who @HelpACC is, but I do know that he used to be in the "Gods of Glory" Guild, and then he left. If not, correct me if I'm wrong. I'll do my best! @HelpACC started Pr2 8 years ago around the time when players such as xCeVeDz, Yes! Oh my Gosh!, Chocapic, Slowboy03, and many others did.
These players were well known for ranking up incredibly fast, they probably had macro bots with auto hotkeys, and more. xCeVeDz and Slowboy03 retired in 2013/2014, but then xCeVeDz came back to rank up a few years later. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
On the other hand, @HelpACC continued to grind and rank his accounts up. I think the reason his name is "HelpACC" is because he was known for helping people rank their accounts up. This guy was quite the competitor, but unfortunately he discontinued Pr2 at the rank of 68+5. This was probably over a year ago, who knows ?♂️ However, can we all agree that if he continued to rank his main up, he'd probably be at least 70+8, today?
Think about this for a moment... he was 68+5 over a year ago, probably ahead of @FDX3 by the base rank, but he only had +5 rank tokens. If he were to have folded his main to +8 and continued to level his main, he'd probably be on his way to 71+8 by now. So now the question becomes, what happened to @HelpACC, why did he leave Gods of Glory, and will he ever come back? You all let me know.
I don't know the name of his alt's, but here's my prediction of where his rank would stand, today. Since some players are going to be ranking up soon, these rank predictions are anticipated ahead of time. I'm only counting ranks 70+. Pay close attention to where @HelpACC is located on the list.
Rank 80[Total: 1] Colind
Rank 78 [Total: 2] AlphaZ HelpACC
Rank 77[Total: 1] FDX3
Rank 74[Total: 3] 117033 Puncture SimAcc 1
Rank 73 [Total: 2] Aquarius Jmarroqu
Rank 72 [Total: 1] Sim Race
Rank 71 [Total: 5] FDX3 Jr. FDX4 SteamPower Team FDX3 Underneath
I wanted to know your thought's on the new Amazon Go Stores that are being tested and eventually launched. I'm watching a video on it and I feel it can be the next best thing but could potentially be the next big scam if you don't always check receipts after you do a shop? Surely Amazon could add an item in maybe 1 in 30 customers to their bill, small enough so the customer maybe very rarely notice, and in turn could generate Amazon millions. Maybe I'm being stupid asf about talking about this but I kinda liked the idea of being able to pick items up and literally not having to wait for the next man to bag half the store up. But now, after having this thought of maybe having to check the receipt carefully via mobile, after you walk out, this for me would cause more stress than having to go through and pay like normal.
I wanna get some more opinions on the whole thing and thought I'd ask here.
Only let the arti be on levels 2017 or after
I heard there is a list around of all the levels from 2016 and before which is how ppl find it very fast lol
Currently I am working on a hat design for Pr2 that's supposed to be so good, that you're gonna want to ditch all the other 15 hats and say 'screw it! I gotta have this hat!.' I'm telling you ladies and gentleman... this hat will not only be the most dominate hat in Pr2, it will also be the most best looking hat in Pr2. Consider this hat to be #16 on the list ??
It takes creativity to the next level and it's nothing ripped out of Pr3, trust me. New Hat, new weapon, etc. Some of you know what it's gonna do already, and some do not. But when I'm done (and I'll try to push it by the end of this week), you'll witness creativity maxed out at its' finest. The way you will obtain this hat, will be to beat a level of my choosing. A level that you will beat under 3mins to obtain the hat itself. As far as special powers added to it, you'll have to beat target times.
One last thing, there will be folding as well, but that's after you've beaten the target times. The folding is set to a high bounty, and there's a special reward for that as well. This hat literally beats the unthinkable, and I cannot do it without you guys support because you all matter whether you know it or not!
With the approval of @bls1999 or @Eternal , all this can be possible ? Two options: get a mod/admin judge, or do a video recording, following their rules.
The more support it has, the greater the chances of it being implemented into the game. I'm telling you, you're not going to want to go back to those other 15 hats. I'm not the best drawer in the world, but I'll do my best. I can't reveal the name of the hat or its' image, but I can tell you that it has its' own weapon! Stay tuned! ?
